How Real?
The question has come up a couple of times about how real one of my pups is which gets me wanting to work out all of them.
The best way for me to judge how real any of them are is by how much they talk back.
Varda, Manwë and Imoen are real enough that they talk back to me, sometimes they don't do it in actual words - like Imoen has only actually spoken in words about her reluctance to RP a couple of times - but it's there, she makes her wishes felt.
The Valar are pretty noisy, they slag off at me for being fangirlish, comment about me in meta and generally interact with the others.
Elros doesn't speak to me much but he's only a couple of steps down the scale of "real" from Imm and the Valar.
Pityo is surprisingly real, even if he doesn't speak directly to me I can feel him there, avoiding everyone.
Most of the rest aren't very real, they don't talk to me, they don't interact with one another in a ooc/meta sense.
Some are slightly more real than other in as much as they are doing stuff, I know they are but it's very remote to me. Most who are like that are the non-journal ones, like Mirai Vegito, Caella and Grimm. They don't venture outside the bounds of their worlds though.
Hyper and Mimi are different issues all together. They are old IDs of mine who have gained independance.
Once upon a time Hyperbole was me, and I was Hyperbole. What changed that was giving Hyper a place in a reviewer interactive fic, she began to hold opinions that, while they reflected my own they tended to be more intense. I'm not exactly the most emotional person - I have grown into being a very phlegmatic person as I've grown up and I'm more-so like that IRL than I am online. Hyper is far more emotional than me, I tend to think that both she and Mimi have more of my sanguine side, leaving the phleg to me.
Mimi came to me with more independance to start with because she came in as a seperate personality to Hyper. That much has never changed.
Lately both of them have been... asleep. I've known they're there but they haven't done anything. I'm worried right now though because Hyper is stirring a bit and I don't need her saiyan obsession as DBZ is well behind me at this point.
